hello all! i was wondering what the difference between and essence and toner was? i’ve heard them used interchangeably, and was wondering whether there was a difference at all. for example, the i’m from rice TONER and i’m from mugwort ESSENCE. what makes them have different names? thanks :)

Difference between ESSENCE and TONER?

Does anybody have a product that actually, honestly helped their acne??

I am constantly on a search for good products…

Honestly, can’t say anything! This is my new holy grail!

This was a lightweight toner&#47;essence that had GORGEOUS packaging, and helped reduce redness on my face almost immediately!

the packaging makes it so that it dispenses wayyy too much for one pump.

this is such a nice hydrating gel cleanser that cleansed well while soothing the skin. this is great for normal to slightly dry skin types that love gel cleansers but are worried about their skin barrier!

in terms of cons, there aren’t too many, i would think that the pros override the cons. nonetheless, here are the cons:

-small size: i was expecting a bigger size for a moisturizer, but this is only 50g. however, like i said before, a little goes a long way for this product.
-contains some ingredients that oily skin may not like: may clog pores if your skin doesn’t like it

overall? i would buy this because of its great ingredients and, of course, its being vegan  and fragrance&#47;essential oil free. (this was sent in exchange for review from stylekorean’s try me review me program)

I love that it stars LHA, which is a super-charged version of Salicylic Acid. It is a type of SA that is a lot gentler because of the molecule size, yet has more oil solubility and the same effects as SA. It is something I do not see often in skincare products but am seeing more and more of. here are some pros product-wise:

-creamy texture
-absorbs not quite quickly, but doesn’t take forever
-you don’t need a lot
-you can use this as a spot treatment before moisturizer
-good at killing and preventing acne

-Contains coconut oil
-Leaves a slight white cast while rubbing in
-Can break out acne-prone skin types
-Not recommended for daytime if you sweat easily
-Not recommended for very oily skin types

-Very moisturizing
-Is thick, can be used at night 
-Absorbs nicely
-Soothing and hydrating ingredients

It smells slightly of soil, but it quickly goes away.

I loved how lightweight and watery this was. It sank in very quickly and instantly calmed redness, and seemingly reduced inflammation in my active acne. It absorbs like water and was very hydrating.
